Tribute to George Stevens at Museum The Museum of Modern Art lii RELSE: 1 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable; Modernart January 8 , 1970 TRIBUTE TO GEORGE STEVENS AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART A tribute to George Stevens, one of America's best-known film directors, will be given by the Department of Film of The Museum of Modern Art from January 8th to 27th. Cover­ ing a span of three decades, this retrospective will consist of eighteen of Stevens' films including not only such well-known pictures as "Shane" and "A Place in the Sun," but also "Alice Adams," "Gunga Din," and "Woman of the Year." At the same time the Museum will commemorate the director's work by publishing the first book-length study of his films: "George Stevens: An American Romantic," by Donald Richie. i^ In the introduction, Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Museum's Department of Film, describes Stevens as "a craftsman who became an artist, a romanticist who de­ veloped into a realist." His work reflects many of the salient social and philosophi­ cal attitudes of his times. As a result, audiences identify with the characters in Stevens' films and, in the opinion of Van Dyke, "whether or not he intended such a thing, Stevens has, in a very important way, become the spokesman for his country and his era," because he shared with his audiences so many of its assumptions. What are these assumptions? In his study of the director, Donald Richie refers to the traditional American values of the past to which George Stevens, born in Oak­ land, California in 1904, was heir. He cites "optimism, faith in innate goodness, liberalism towards other individuals, and belief in the absolutes of truth and beauty." Like most Americans, Richie says, Stevens was a romantic, an idealist. "Eventually, he began to question these assumptions so central to the American experience." It was during these later years, Richie says, that Stevens emerged as a mature artist, one who discovered that romantic idealization proved no solution to the manifold problems of American life. (more) -2- Though Stevens' detractors would label him a sentimentalist, Richie points out that fairly early in his career, Stevens, "with his romantic's apprehension that all was not well with the world, and his romantic's duty to do something about it," be­ came aware the necessity for a sterner and more honest evaluation of the American ex­ perience. Thus his career constitutes a major quest, one which discovered its object in "A Place in the Sun," "Shane," and "Giant." As the content of his films evolved, so too Stevens' style changed. A consummate craftsman from the first, he then learned "how to break the rules." Though known as one of the most careful and painstaking directors in America, his early years had at the same time given him an admirable sense of timing and spontaneity. Early in his career he made comedy short-subjects, beginning work in 192A as a cameraman for the Hal Roach studios during which he shot a number of the Laurel and Hardy and Harry Langdon films. In 1933 he made his first feature, and two years later completed the now-famous "Alice Adams." From then, he went on to make such we11-remembered pictures as "Gunga Din," with Gary Grant, from an original story by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur; "Viva­ cious Lady," with Ginger Rogers and James Stewart; "Penny Serenade," with Irene Dunne; and "Woman of the Year," with Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. In the years after World War II, Stevens emerged as a major artist, beginning with "I Remember Mama" and continuing into the later films. From early romantic and idealistic beginnings he evolved the realistic and questioning view which is now his. In conclusion, Richie finds that these later films - "Shane," "Giant," "A Place in the Sun" "are prophetic, as all art is meant to be. They indicate what can happen, what one hopes will happen, when the American romantic finally realizes himself as a hu­ man being."

  • Actor-Director Vincent Sherman, Who Played Harry Becker
    "Wyler knew how to get to the truth of each actor's capacity," actor-director Vincent Sherman, who played Harry Becker in William Wyler's "Counsellor at Law," told the Goldwyn Theater audience after a screening of the ftlm in July. "Counsellor at Law," Wyler's 1933 examination of the business and personal issues confronting a high-powered New York attorney, was screened as part of the Academy's centennial salute to the Oscar­ winning director. "Wyler wasn't always articulate about the details of the scene, TERENCE STAMP but he knew when it was right," Sherman said. "He knew how to squeeze every ounce of emotion that was in a scene and to get the best out of everybody." Sherman was joined on the panel by actor Terence Stamp, who starred in "The Collector," for WYLER'S BEN-HUR, CHARLTON HESTON , IS which Wyler earned the last of his directing nominations; actress Carroll Baker, who was directed INTRODUCED FROM THE AUDIENCE. by Wyler in "The Big Country;" and writer Fay Kanin, who with husband Michael was a colleague of Wyler. The panel was moderated by film critic Peter Rainer. Wyler earned a record twelve Academy Award nominations for directing, and during his career won Oscar statuettes for "Mrs. Miniver," "The Best Years of Our Lives" and "Ben-Hur." He earned nominations in the Best Picture category for "Roman Holiday" and "Friendly Persuasion," which also were among his directing nominations. He received the Irving G.ThaibergAward in 1965. When offered "The Big Country," Carroll Baker said, she was "a little bit self-conscious" because after "Baby Doll" she was being offered only "little sexpots." She mentioned her concern to Wyler.
